Scams,Exporting Fruits To Singapore,Batu Pahat

LONDON (Reuters) -Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola lashed out at the FA Cup schedule after his side beat Chelsea 1-0 to reach the final on Saturday, three days after their treble bid was ended by defeat on penalties by Real Madrid in the Champions League.

One of the victims is a retiree in his 60s who lost his savings after investing in a company purportedly exporting fruits to Singapore, while another is a manager of an electrical company who was duped into supplying equipment to a Chinese school.

In the other case, a manager in her 50s received a phone call in February from someone who claimed to be the administrator of a Chinese school.Sources said the caller informed the manager that in order to win the tender, her company needed to buy the items from a particular firm appointed by the school.“She became suspicious when the items did not arrive after several weeks.

Sources said the victim, who wished to earn some extra income, was offered a job via WhatsApp by a company to boost its online ratings.
